The above is the result from the masking of the cylinders. Not so bad.And here I have masked the inner part of the skirt.
With this as the result. It came out really clean and I don't have to do any touch up.
More masking for parts of the.. wait.. what are these again? This was a little time consuming, but I had an alcoholic beverage to keep my company.
Tomorrow should be a good enough day to do some painting. The internal frame is almost all painted, but I still have to do some rather small pieces.
I haven't even touched any of the armour yet except for the head and the shoulders all the rest is still on the sprues. I also have yet to touch the thrusters but I haven't decided on a colour for those yet so they can wait.
Skirt internals came up really nice.
ReplyDeletei agree. you are really good at masking. i never mask and do touch ups by hand later. masking tends to be cleaner i think. also takes longer too
ReplyDeleteMy masking technique for this project is to cover it with the tape and then use my design knife to cut around the part that will be painted and then remove the tape exposing it for painting. Sometimes I mess up and leave a scratch in the plastic but it's not very noticeable and will be painted anyway.
